Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Little Sister-in-law’s Words Are More Effective Than an Imperial Edict

Li Manman finished speaking in one breath, the anger on her face obvious.

"Manman, actually, it was only when Li Chenghao came back this time that I realized I had already let go. Because I no longer care, I can face him calmly." Han Xi paused, then continued, "Also, Lu Jinghan knows about me meeting him, and he’s always been there with me."

"It’s best to let go. Try to have as little contact with him as possible in the future. Although Lu Jinghan loves you very much, the more he loves, the more jealous he becomes."

"Mm, I know."

......

As night fell, Li Manman and Han Xi finally left the mall. The two of them drove to their regular hot pot restaurant, as they had only eaten some desserts at noon and were now very hungry.

After ordering, the waiter quickly brought the side dishes. They had chosen a clear soup pot since Li Manman had acne on her face and couldn’t eat spicy food recently.

Halfway through the meal, Li Manman saw Shi Yu’s fiancée, Li Chuxia, snuggling with a man as they entered a private room, and she signaled Han Xi with her eyes to look over.

When Han Xi turned around, she didn’t see the front view, only the back of a man and a woman embracing each other: "Who’s that?"

"Shi Yu’s fiancée. I heard they’re already engaged, but the engagement was not a big event; just a meal with friends and family from both sides."

Li Manman raised her eyebrows with schadenfreude: "Maybe it’s because of those indecent photos of this woman, the Shi Family felt embarrassed, so they kept it low-key."

Han Xi put a piece of meat in her mouth: "This woman’s private life is really unrestrained. The man who just went into the private room with her is definitely not Shi Yu."

"Serves him right; it’d be best if Shi Yu turned as green as a prairie."

Even though what Li Manman said was a bit inhumane and spiteful, Han Xi still nodded in agreement.

Who made him trample the relationship with Chu Ci so easily for money?

This is what Shi Yu deserves.

.......

In the evening, Han Xi sent a text message to Lu Jinghan, telling him to drink less during social events because it’s bad for his health, and also asked him to come home early after he finished.

At this moment, Lu Jinghan was in a private room at a club. Everyone at the dining table was praising him with toasts, but he remained untouched by any alcohol. Yet, when Lu Jinghan said he wouldn’t drink, no one dared to toast him again.

Through the meal, everyone was very cautious with their words. Usually, no matter what, when they toasted, Lu Jinghan would at least drink a little, but today he didn’t take a single sip. These people were afraid of doing something wrong and offending Lu Jinghan.

After the dinner ended, Lu Jinghan and Feng Yi got on the elevator together. Feng Yi tilted his head and lit a cigarette: "You really didn’t touch a drop today, in a bad mood?"

Lu Jinghan leaned slightly against the elevator wall with one hand in his pocket and the other playing with a lighter: "Xiao Xi told me to drink less, it’s bad for health."

Feng Yi burst out laughing: "I wonder when you became so obedient to a woman. Little Sister-in-law’s words are more effective than an imperial edict."

Lu Jinghan didn’t say anything and continued playing with the lighter in his hand, but the smile on his lips deepened.

When you truly love someone, you take their words to heart and sweetly do what you can to avoid making them worry.

When Lu Jinghan returned to the villa, Han Xi was already asleep in bed. She had spent the whole day shopping with Li Manman and was too tired.

Lu Jinghan went to the bathroom for a shower, changed into pajamas, then got into bed. He hugged the woman who was back-to-back with him into his arms and then fell asleep.
